Jenkins, B-CU's third-year head coach, is one of three finalists for Southern's head-coaching position, Broussard said Friday.

Jenkins told The (Baton Rouge) Advocate late Sunday night that "everything's in the evaluation stage'' right now.

"I'm going to sit down with Dr. Broussard and see what he has to say,'' Jenkins told The Advocate. "We'll talk and share things and see where it goes from there."

"We want to see if both of our goals can be met and see where that takes us."

Southern announced the other two finalists Saturday — Dawson Odums, the team's interim coach since early this season when Stump Michell was reassisgned to another position, and Nevada offensive line coach James Spady.

Spady and Odums are scheduled to interview earlier in the week. Broussard has said that he wants to present his final choice to the Board of Supervisors at its meeting Friday.
